This subreddit is intended to act as a library of birth stories, serving mothers-to-be and beyond. Please share your birth story (recent or in the past). Mothers, partners, grandparents, doctors, midwives, doulas, siblings, and any others who were present during childbirth are encouraged to share their tales. Feel free to write informally, technically, or artistically. Stories can be positive, less-than-positive, graphic, modest, and have both happy or sad endings. Thank you for sharing!

ONLY STORIES MAY BE POSTED HERE. These can take on various forms, however, such as text, photo, blog, or video. Please visit /r/babybumps, /r/beyondthebump, /r/csectioncentral, /r/mommit, /r/daddit if you want to start a discussion post. If you have any questions about a possible post, please do not hesitate to message the mods. Thank you for your understanding!

This subreddit is to act as a community of inspiration, documentation, and education. Please keep comments constructive.
